Unless I'm stoned and never saw a "select all" option in adaware, you have to tick 'em all off manualy. No prob with a dozen or so, but when it's around a hundred or two hundred it's a friggen hassle.

According to the User manual (Ad-aware 6 -> Getting Started -> Scan Results), right-click on any object in the list and then the menu has a "Select all objects" option (among others).
Never have needed to try this before and it does seem counter-intuitive.

I took jim's advice and installed Mozilla. Works like a charm, but still have to get used to the Netscape style user interface. My SpyWareBlaster is already configured to handle Mozilla.

Can anyone recommend a good freeware firewall? I thought about getting the one offered by Telus since they're my ISP, but they package theirs with their Antivirus program and I already subscribe to Norton Anti-Virus.

Another Convert!!!!

Moooo haa haa haaa haa !!

As per your firewall question, Zone Alarm works for me.

Been a devoted Mozilla fan since '99. Became a true worshipper as of the first Firefox release.

As for firewalls, if you use a home router of some sort (which I recommend even if you use just one computer) then a personal firewall is redundant. Plus, using a firewall on any home router released in the past two or three years offers much better protection than a personal firewall without all the hassles.

Oh and J1tanamera -- it wasn't hotbar. It was mysearchbar and bowsmeowsite (i have no idea why it's called that, LOL) Anyway, I never did actually install the toolbars myself.

Anyway, they're gone now.. so, all is good

At work we get in tons of people who have more hotbars, spyware, and junk on their machines than do actual data. I saw one machine with a toolbar/search page malware called "Dart Corn Funk". Freaked me out, never seen anything like it before, and I've seen alot.

Of course the best firewall in the world is PF.
It won't work for most of you since to get it you have to install OpenBSD
(or FreeBSD). And it's totally free.

Think I'm just a OpenBSD shill? Don't want to take my word for it?
Even Windows users agree (look inder the firewall section)
